PIKACYU-MAKOTO
TELEPLASMISTE

The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle St, Angel, London, N1 0XT
7.30pm | £7.50 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/401265
PIKACYU-MAKOTO is an alliance between two figureheads of underground Japanese psych/pop, the musically promiscuous Kawabata Makoto (most famous for his leadership of the legendary Acid Mothers Temple), and Afrirampo's Pikacyu. Pikacyu's drums pummel, jitter, crash and stumble, but steadfastly refuse to groove. She layers her voice several times, competing with pitch-shifted versions of herself whilst Makoto attacks his guitar, cloaking himself in reverb to produce a wall-of-sound, alternating between melody and noise. No strangers to one another, the pair have not only gigged together with their respective bands but also recorded together, when these two outfits temporarily fused in 2005 to become Acid Mothers Afrirampo (releasing an album of the same name). Now they have distilled their collaboration, all other players being stripped away to leave the core of Pikacyu's manic drums and pop vocal, and Makoto's schizoid guitar conjurings. Brand new album 'Galaxilympics' is out on Upset The Rhythm on August 4th on LP and CD.

TELEPLASMISTE is Mark O Pilkington (Raagnagrok, Urthona) and Michael J York (Coil, Cyclobe). The duo blur vintage synthesis and contemporary electronics with acoustic pipes to create a transcendent reverie that exists on a wavelength beyond both retro fetishism and modern-day machinations. Heavy ambience and otherworldly atmospherics marry here amidst an aura of epiphanic radiance. Previous performances have taken place in churches and crypts, and at Farnborough Wind Tunnel, in which the resonant frequencies of the space were combined with frequencies believed to have certain physiological effects.
